Clients reviews about Vann Vaikuntham

Recently went to Pench and stayed at Vann Vaikuntham. Very nicely done huts or cottages, clean, with great activities as well. The staff is helpful and tends to any requirement one might have. The highlight of the stay was the excellent food, good quality and sumptuous vegetarian food that didn't kick the urge in me to look for non-vegetarian at all. The other key highlight of the trip was the owner Mr Vikas' passion with tigers and wildlife, he adds our safaris with his stories (many interesting ones) and knowledge that he has gained over the years. Each visit to the jungle was notched up in experience, was also seamless with him taking care of it all. The jungles of Pench are also truly mesmerizing. Overall a great place to stay with family. ~ Anukampa M

Vann Vaikuntham is a hidden gem at Pench, the kind of place that understands what people want on a vacation and goes above and beyond to give them a comfortable and enjoyable stay. We travelled with family and small kids and felt extremely safe and at home at this resort. At the centre of this experience is Mr Vikas and his father who manage the resort and keep things to the highest standards. Be it food, karaoke nights, upkeep, bonfires, special occasions, everything is well thought of and delivered with a personal touch. The biggest highlight is Mr Vikas and his knowledge and passion for wildlife, his expertise and personal care meant we had the most surreal tiger sightings at Pench. We can’t thank the team of Vann Vaikuntham enough for making our holiday so memorable! ~ anuj a

Honestly cannot recommend Vann Vaikuntham enough. We absolutely loved our stay here. The owner Vikas, his dad and his staff are the loveliest team ever. From the moment we booked to the second we left we were looked after like royalty. Vikas organised a car to pick us up from the airport and take us back when we left and he also organised seats on 2 safaris across our time there. The food was unreal, so much of it and the nicest we had on our trip. The resort was great, had a pool, a kids play area, reception with chess and foozeball etc, and a lovely big dining hall. The room was also perfect, spacious, clean, with aircon and coffee facilities. Cannot thank Vikas and his team for the best stay. You made our entire India trip. ~ K M

Spent three nights at Vann Vaikuntham in the second week of February 2024. It is a lovely property close to the Touria gate of Pench Tiger Reserve. The staff is hospitable and polite. The food is to die for... I am sure I gained a couple of kgs loving the food. The daily evening chat counter is a fun place to enjoy the snacks and meet the other guests. The cottages are spacious and comfortable. Vikas Sirohi, the owner, will keep you entertained with his wit and knowledge of the park and will make sure you have a pleasant stay. Whether you go there on a safari trip or a vacation you will have a good time and leave with a smile on your face. ~ gaurav c

We stayed at Vann Vaikuntham Resort during our recent trip to Pench National Park with family friends, and it completely transformed our experience. The resort is run by Mr. Vikas Sirohi, a passionate wildlife enthusiast whose deep knowledge and stories add a unique charm to the stay. His attention to detail is evident throughout—from thoughtful touches like early morning tea and cookies before safaris, cold wet towels post-safari, to eco-friendly toiletries and impeccable cleanliness across the property. The staff was attentive, the pool well-maintained, and the food—pure vegetarian—was simply outstanding. As a hardcore non-vegetarian, I was surprised at how satisfying and delicious every meal was. Our stay was so memorable that Vann Vaikuntham will be our go-to choice for all future Pench visits. Highly recommended for anyone planning a trip to the park! ~ Chirag M

We just concluded a 4 day Pench trip at Vann Vaikuntham! It was one of our most memorable trips yet.. hats off to Vikasji’s hospitality. Right from guidance for which permits to book, flawless execution of each safari with brilliant drivers and guides across Turia, Khursapar and Sillari our trip was managed completely by him. The resort itself is amazing, luxurious rooms, warm people and amazing food all through the days - each item was flawless and no item was repeated! I would also mention his father at the property, who is equally warm and we loved talking to him. Vann Vaikuntham’s staff is very well trained, extremely courteous and warm. It felt like a second home. I would like to mention that this was our second trip with him and both experiences have been similarly awesome and positive! I highly recommend experiencing Pench with Vann Vaikuntham! ~ Nikita P

Excellent Resort. As the name suggests Vann(Jungle), within the resort there are trees which are 100yrs old or more and rooms are beautifully spaced within the jungle theme. Walking to rooms from reception starts your jungle experience. Add to it the very young and enthusiastic staff ready to assist and provide you with prompt service. The food in the restaurant is amazing with good variety. Morning tea in Machan and High tea post your afternoon safari near the swimming pool is worth experiencing. The owner himself is a wildlife enthusiast and provides guidance about Safari. Must visit resort in Pench. ~ Sachin M

We were recommended for this place by a friend, and our whole experience and stay was way better than what we were expecting. Owner Vikas is himself an enthusiast when it comes to wild life, he makes sure to give you personalised experience and attention whether it comes to helping with Safaris, sharing his knowledge about wildlife, and making sure everything goes well with stay. The chef in the property was very accommodating as well. The food was so fresh and tasty. Overall I highly recommend this place and experience. Wishing you guys all the luck for future. I am sure you will reach many heights. ~ Megha B

One of the places where the home comfort is not missed. Our stay was made even more fabulous when Mr Vikash sirohi (the owner) and his team showed their courtesy & hospitality towards us. The deep experience Mr Vikash has about everthing (the place, parks, tigers, birds) is just amazing. He even organized the safari's and was very much with us being our guide.He has vast knowledge about wild life and photography.And the way he explains every situation in forest is mesmerising... Not to forget, the food quality too was up to the mark and always felt we were at home. The eating place is full of pictures & snaps about the achievements. This makes it more inspirational to be there. Our dream to see the "TIGER" and "LEOPARD" really came true; and this happened due to vast experience and knowledge of Vikash sir and hospitality of Anjali mam(owner's wife)!! Really a place to re-visit and lovely people to stay with!!! ~ OCTAHEDRAL C

writing review for Vann Vaikuntham property owned by Vikas is bit difficult for me as I do not know how to praise the property… its ambience… its food… staff and our overall stay. Trust me you need to experience it yourself. Food is vegetarian which feels like home food and the chef justifies it all the time. Ambience is super… rooms are super clean and the staff is very friendly and cooperative. Much thanks to Ravi Bhupen Sachin for making the stay so comfortable and none the less Thank you Vikas ji for being so hospitable and taking care of us. ~ Aparna S

All the jungle safari were planned through resort as we were a group of 25 … but to our surprise everything was very perfect … We enjoyed the screening of the semi finals of the cricket World Cup , which was cherry on a cake & resort took lot of effort for it.

If you are heading to Pench Tiger Reserve, Turia should definitely be your target zones. This property is located just a few kms from the entry gate, the basic essence as the name suggests has been hand crafted by the Owner of this property. The rooms, the dining hall, the dining area and the Mandir everything has been perfectly placed. And yes they stream movies on Projector. The owner himself is a Wildlife Photographer and he will guide and assist you throughout your stay. I am overwhelmed. A must visit. ~ Soumya B

The ultimate place to have adventure fun laughter and relaxation. The resort is full of green trees and lots of beautiful flowers spread in over 2 acres of land this property is the best one to stay if you’re heading to Pench. The owner Mr. Vikas and his team are always there to help and make you comfortable throughout your stay. The property is situated just 2 kms from the most happening zone of Pench I.e.

My partner and I travelled from Australia, and on a whim chose to stay here for our wildlife leg of our india trip. What a great decision it was. Vikas, the owner, was so unbelievably helpful from minute one, answering any questions and sorting out airport pickups and all our safaris. When we arrived, he was extremely attentive to us and made sure we were comfortable with everything and the same goes for all of the staff. Everyone was very kind and genuinely happy to help. The food was incredible, a real highlight for us. Vikas personally came on our safaris and is very passionate and knowledgable about wildlife, this really strengthened our experience. Vikas also is a professional photographer and he shared all his photos with us that he took for free. When the time came to leave, he waived the drinks fee we had as a gift, and personally gave us a present as a thank you for visiting. The location and grounds are great, it was genuinely very relaxing. Thank you Vikas and team. You made our trip! ~ Campbell M

Had stayed here for 3 days. What a beautiful experience. Vikas helped us organising the safari and made sure we had good drivers always. The resort is quite spacious and the rooms are perfect. Each evening we sat at different areas of the resort like Machan, the lawns or the pool. The swimming pool is lean and well maintained. Lots of play area for kids. Best of all the staff is very polite and friendly. Always serving you with a smile. Hope to visit again next year.. ~ Manu S
